The Cleveland Soaring Society is a non-profit 501(c)(7) corporation, founded in 1962
with stated purpose “to provide flying facilities for its members on a nonprofit
basis and to encourage their training by making available ground school and flight
instruction in sailplanes and gliders.” And, to that end, Cleveland Soaring has
promoted the sport of soaring in the northeast Ohio for over 50 years. CSS is a
charter chapter of The Soaring Society of America, our parent organization and national
advocacy group for soaring in the United States.

We currently have a membership of about thirty five soaring enthusiasts from all
over NE Ohio, ranging in age from 15 to 90. We are a laid back group of people from
all walks of life.
